I am wondering just how Armor and armor point values affect how much damage you will take in combat
Levi Lasena attacked 1 times with his K-43:
- Zansatsu Saris's armour absorbed 7 damage from the blow
- Hit Zansatsu Saris for 43 HP

Here is the current fitout in terms on armor on Zansatsu.
Battle Armor (10 AP)
Riot Shield (6AP, but says not implemented? is it?)
Corellian powersuit helmet (5AP)

So if only 7 damage got bounced by 15-21 AP(depending on the shield) armor, how exactly does armor work?
I thought it protected up to that many points per round. Is there some other formula behind it? is it secret how effective armor is?

Oh oh I see further down there is another 8 points. I was reading vertically and I didn't see any mention of 8 points earlier so I figured something happened That would be 15 what I was expecting. So shields do not work? I thought they used to, that would have been 21.
